100 Add an offset of 20 × log10(Fclk/156.25 MHz) dB to mask values, where Fclk is reference clock frequency.
101 The phase noise mask requirement between 20 MHz and 1 GHz excludes any harmonics power of the fundamental clock.
102 This value is 100 MHz for down SSC (Spread Spectrum Clocking) clocking. This value can also be 25 MHz for HDMI rate of less than 1 Gbps.
103 These termination resistors are part of the reference clock input buffer on-chip, and are always present and no external termination or DC biasing is needed if AC-coupled on board. If DC-coupled on board, external biasing is not required unless a signaling standard other than differential 100 Ω termination is required.
104 LVDS is recommended with on-board AC-coupling and subject to 0.6 V ≤ VREFIN-DIFF ≤ 1.7 V.
105 Add an offset of 20 × log10(Fclk/156.25 MHz) dB to mask values, where Fclk is reference clock frequency.
106 If your far-end differential termination is comprised of two 50 Ω terminations to GND, the common-mode voltage is nominally 250 mV. If your far-end differential termination is comprised of a single 100 Ω differential termination between the P and N signals, the common-mode voltage is nominally 500 mV.
